When his younger brother loses interest in online dating, hot, bearded, bartender extraordinaire, Joe Collins, only intends to log into his account and shut it down. Until he reads about her.

Alex Parks is funny, friendly, and pretty much everything he's been looking for in a woman. And in no time at all they're emailing up a storm, telling each other their deepest darkest secrets... apart from the one that really matters.

And when it comes to love, serving it straight up works better than with a twist.

Thoughts on Twist: Okay. I have a confession to make. Overly large, overly hairy dudes are my literary weakness. Seriously, once a hero gets referred to as a yeti/sasquatch/bigfoot, I'm smitten. Hey. If liking big, hairy guys is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Let's just say Joe's beardedness gets a big *thumbs up* from me.

However, the slight prevarication he might have made in reference to his identity wasn't as charming. On the other hand, it brought Alex into his orbit and they were SUPER cute together. Once she got over her anger at his lies, that is.

Frankly, Alex needed a jolt to her existence to bring her out of her shell. While Joe certainly wasn't what she was expecting when she showed up in Coeur d'Alene, he was exactly what she needed. Their relationship might have started out on the wrong foot, but it...well, it kinda went all over the place. But it ended well. Eventually.
